I think they gave Kamila's sample on Dec 25th
What did I do?
Yes that is what I am saying, because that is all we know. And it wasn't discovered on 25th of December. Kamila was tested that day.
The Johaug case still makes me angry. Because they came up with this perfect cover up story. This cream isn't a lip balm or a sun cream like they claimed. It is used on skin lesions, when your legs are open and infected because of problems with arteries and burns. I don't believe that she was innocent, they trained and doped in Italy because they knew this cream was available there, at least that's what many people think. But a lot of tears, a doctor who takes all the blame and a strong Federation can save your career. I was glad that she wasn't allowed to compete in 2018 because that would have been a farce and very unfair. And she doesn't need the microdose anabolic doping in any case, she can win without it, but she can't train that hard, because that's what this is all about. Shorter recovery - more time to train.
there is called a process, she is allowed to practice after suspension of practice was successfully appealed. your spiting at the wrong person
Actually, these articles don't list if the samples taken were out of competition or not. But they list Zagitova as being checked once in 2021 when she was not competing.
So from all my reading (usual disclaimer about accuracy etc) RUSADA is not allowed to test the samples because they are deemed untrustworthy (?). So they have to send the samples to some lab in another country.
.... Well you know the rest.
A reason I can think off, that it´s not very unlikely giving the circumstances we are in, is that the lab who analyzed is having staff shortness because of covid sickness or work overload due to covid test. Or a good mix of both. I don´t know if the last one is even an option, is the same lab doing covid tests? I know from Norwegian labs they are very overworked and working a lot of overtime, and covid test have been top priority. All though the there should be some kind of priority of those test as well. Anyways if they are not doing covid test they could still have staff shortness.Can I ask you why you think that might be? just theorise with me
It's not an abnormal backlog for a doping test. Also we have a pandemic going on at the same time, shipping times are impacted, laboratories overbooked, and some chemical agents are hard to come by at the moment.
If he / she would be a professional athlete competing at the Olympics than it would be OK.

I suspect because of Covid everything is just slow. And maybe they expected the results to be negative so everyone lived life like normal until Feb 8 when the results arrived and then
while I was desdain Kamila was not accompanied by an adult. the male eastern journalist did the provocative harassment. abuser is a strong word do its better to ssk the athletes about how they were treated.
are you joking ? even child actors and celebrities don't get these kind of athlete's scrutiny
That is correct. After that, the Russian Anti-Doping association provisionally suspended her. She appealed and they lifted the suspension. Now that decision is being appealed, by the WADA, the IOC and the ISU, to the CAS (?) the court of sports arbitration, with a decision to be issued before the individual event. Any suspension would be provisional, with a full hearing later on whether there should be a permanent punishment (or an acquittal). The TE medals won't be awarded until the final decision is made.
I hope this is expedited. I want the medalists to get their medals. I want to see Zhou, Chock/Bates, and Hubbell/Donohue get their medals.
